With its gambrel roof form and log construction, The Oaks represents the persistence of traditional building techniques. This dwelling was built some 50 years after gambrel roof houses were built elsewhere in the region. Both the main block and kitchen wing are log with weatherboard siding. The main house has brick chimneys, while the kitchen wing has a massive stone base chimney. Two front doors open into separate parlors in a tradition characteristic of southern Pennsylvania and northern Maryland houses. One parlor contains a fine paneled mantel wall and a tight winder stair leads to the second level. In 1797 Samuel Riggs acquired this property of 223 acres. His son Reuben was already residing here when he inherited the land upon Samuel's death in 1814. The Riggs family were prominent tobacco planters active in civic J life. Expanding the plantation to 800 acres, Reuben and wife May Thomas Riggs prospered,ct Q living here most of their lives. The property includes a bank barn with stone foundation and fA~ board and batten smoke house. All buildings including the house were moved to their current location in 1980.
